Rick Masters - The Czarina Shook Her Head lyrics

People need tradition, need direction, they need us

A stranger said, Mathruiska, why are you afraid of

someone with my power here before you in your home?

The czaravich can never bleed if he is to survive

Take me in your confidence and I'll keep your son alive

One and one is true

He'll swear he never wanted to

He looked twice and said I can identify this man

And the czarina shook her head

Alexandra, you see he's just a charlaton?

Is he curing every woman with those hands he's laying on?

The people moan, they say your like a concubine

And he plays you like a balalaika in the summertime

He appoints the cabinet as the soldiers kiss your feet

We'll poison him, then shoot him

And we'll drown him in the Neva water

One and one is true

I swear I never wanted to

He looked twice and said I can Identify this man

And the czarina shook her head

I said one and one is true

The Bolshevik is rising too

He looked twice and said I can identify this man

And the czarina shook her head
